    Not to mention that institutionalized racism and Jim Crow continued through those 145 years. The Civil Rights bill was in 1964! All of this is far less ancient than what Americans explode fireworks for every 4th of July.

  • The slave trade you're talking about is not ancient. We're talking less than 300 years and the emancipation of slaves in the US took place in 1865......145 years ago. Hardly ancient history.

  • there is one also in gambia name"juffureh"am from gambia but never step ma foot there...i really wanna go there.

  • like no lie my last name is goree. i never knew about this until my french teacher in high school told me to research my name. i am very shocked.

  • Not only African Americans but every black person i think...

  • he is african but it doesnt matter .. evil is evil

  • I agree the slave trader mentality has now long gone but there is still racism that should be stamped out. 17th and 18th century mentality cannot be compared to today...also we cannot chenge history, we just have to deal with it.

  • I could not see in this video any WHITE people smiling, where you got that idea from is in your head.

    Slowly we return to where it began

    Each step retracing a lost tribal ban

    Now we build and band anew

    Every greeting will bind both brother and you

    Goree ISLAND'S HISTORY does measure

    All that man's inhumanity can lever

    Leaving of remnanrs of slavery ...forever.
